Me:
I'm a hobby photographer from Norway, trying my best to take some nice photographs and learning a lot on the way. While I enjoy taking photographs of lots of stuff, I especially enjoy urbex and taking pictures of derelict and abandoned places. The beauty of old and decayed places fascinates me.

Jeg hadde lenge beundret bildene til Andreas, jeg fant raskt inspirasjonen fra hans bilder. I hele janurar hadde jeg lyst til å legge kameraet på hylla, og gi meg med fotograferingen etter 6 år bak objektivet. Da fant jeg Andreas, hans bilder ble en kjempeinspirasjon og det viste meg hva man kunne få til innenfor landets grenser. Min andre tur til Lier mentalsykehus ble en spennede opplevelse, der jeg møtte på vakter... og det som gjorde at jeg gikk inn var at det var andre fotografer inni bygningene. Når jeg kom inn møtte jeg mitt store forbilde, personen som gjorde at kamerat hang rundt halsen igjen, personen som gir meg inspirasjon. Andreas virket som en utrolig hyggelig person, en person med kreativitet og idér, en person som vil gjøre noe orginalt. Han var kjempehyggelig og var ikke på noen måte negativ til oss ungdommen. Han fortalte åpenhjerlig om sine idér og ga oss tips. Takk!
